12.6 prohibs are still legal to take to the range. The other 12's technically are, but they have so many extra rules wrapped around them that it is impossible. - dan
Honestly, the whole 12 anything idea needs to go. Along with the government's ability to use OIC's. A gun is a gun is a gun. Everything else is posturing. - dan
Some real beauties there for sure > I have a Colt Detective Special also , but mine is chromed , along with some others , but no where near the sweet collection you have there ! Edited to reflect right finish , Dom ass old guy , typing about one gun and thinking about another . Finish on ####. Spe. is Chrome !

Years of buying and trading. A nickel plated detective special would be pretty cool. - dan
Was the hot ticket for silhouette back in the day. Had the Ruger and DW and a Contender barrel in that cartridge. Worked very well with 180 gr bullets. - dan
The 357max is one I never had.
Back in the day, I had 2 diamond backs, for some reason , I could not shoot those good, but other colts I had no problem.
I had a exc Colt 357 model in 4 in, that was as good or better then the later model Pythons . Just not as pretty.
My most used is a S-W model 19-2 in 4" these days. Wish now I had kept the short one.
great collection you have there Dan.
